ALFA ROMEO JUNIOR ZAGATO 1600

The Alfa Romeo Junior Zagato is a bold, unconventional interpretation of Italian sportiness. Designed by Ercole Spada for Zagato and introduced in 1969, it broke away from the traditional coupé mould with its sharp, geometric bodywork and forward-looking design.

Its low front end, elongated bonnet and distinctive Kamm tail give it an unmistakable identity: rather than the sensuality of classic forms, it embodies the refined appeal of minimalist design, where every line conveys movement and personality.

Beneath the bodywork beats the heart of Alfa Romeo: the legendary twin-cam four-cylinder engine, delivering an authentic driving experience defined by precision, character and pure involvement. The original 1300 was joined in 1972 by the more powerful 1600 version.

Produced in limited numbers, the Junior Zagato never sought universal appeal. It followed its own path, standing out through originality and stylistic daring.

It is more than a classic coupé: it embodies an Alfa Romeo unafraid to push boundaries, transforming engineering into beauty and simplicity into character. A small but great icon, born to stand apart and destined to resemble no other, leaving a trail of emotion in its wake.

It is in this spirit that we present an Alfa Romeo Junior Zagato 1600 in Blu Francia, an elegant, deep blue shade that enhances the geometric lines of Ercole Spada’s design and accentuates its sporty, unconventional character.

Introduced in 1972, the 1600 version features Alfa Romeo’s legendary 1,570 cc twin-cam four-cylinder engine, equipped with twin twin-choke carburettors and producing 109 hp. This sophisticated mechanical package, combined with rear-wheel drive and a five-speed manual gearbox, delivers an authentic and engaging driving experience, true to the finest traditions of the Alfa Romeo marque.

Its rarity further enhances its appeal: just 402 examples of the Junior Zagato 1600 were produced, making it today one of the most exclusive and sought-after interpretations within the Alfa Romeo coupé family.

Finished in Blu Francia, its personality shines through with particular intensity. Avant-garde design, sophisticated engineering and limited production come together in a car that embodies an extraordinary chapter in Italian automotive history.

Not merely a classic Alfa Romeo, but a rare testament to Zagato’s creative genius and the sporting passion of the Biscione.

This car has been awarded the prestigious RIAR Gold Plate (Targa Oro) and is certified by RIAR (Italian Alfa Romeo Register).
